(c)Mary TV/Anthony Zubac 2019 September 11, 2019Patriot Day in America – Pray for peace!33 Day Consecration – Day 8 Dear Family of Mary! 33 Day Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady of the Rosary – Day 8 In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit! Receive our Consecration Prayer, O dearest Mother Mary! Today we see the Rosary as “Mary’s way”! Through the prayer of the Rosary we are given a roadmap to heaven – Mary’s Way!! Our Lady speaks about her way in this message: “…Just look, my children, how the Heavenly Father loves you with a great love, with understanding, forgiveness and justice – how He gives me, the Mother of your hearts, to you. And here I am among you to bless you with a motherly blessing, to call you to prayer, to fasting – to tell you to believe, to hope, to forgive, to pray for your shepherds, and above all to love without limits. My children, follow me. My way is the way of peace and love, the way of my Son. It is the way that leads to the triumph of my heart…” (June 2, 2019) St. John Paul II realized that in the Rosary we have contained Our Lady’s way, her path to Heaven, her way to live with Jesus at the center of our lives. He explains: 24…The Rosary is at the service of this ideal [the fullness of Christ]; it offers the “secret” which leads easily to a profound and inward knowledge of Christ. We might call it Mary’s way. It is the way of the example of the Virgin of Nazareth, a woman of faith, of silence, of attentive listening. It is also the way of a Marian devotion inspired by knowledge of the inseparable bond between Christ and his Blessed Mother: the mysteries of Christ are also in some sense the mysteries of his Mother, even when they do not involve her directly, for she lives from him and through him. By making our own the words of the Angel Gabriel and Saint Elizabeth contained in the Hail Mary, we find ourselves constantly drawn to seek out afresh in Mary, in her arms and in her heart, the “blessed fruit of her womb” (cf Lk 1:42). https://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/apost_letters/2002/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_20021016_rosarium-virginis-mariae.html St. John Paul II lived Mary’s way his entire life. He allowed the Rosary to guide him into the heart of Our Lady, where he learned through, faith, silence, and attentive listening to know her Son. Mary’s way led him into the deepest service of the Church, as a teacher and spiritual guide, and as a Pontiff who shown with the light of holiness for all to see. It was always Our Lady’s way that kept him firm in faith and clear in purpose. We too must be held by Our Lady, in her arms and heart, so that we will find her Son through her way!! Dearest Mother, may we discover your “way” as we pray the Rosary with you, learning each day more and more about your Son! Supplication to the Queen of the Holy Rosary: “O Blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation against the assaults of Hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death: yours our final kiss as life ebbs away. And the last word from our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompei, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted. May you be everywhere blessed, today and always, on earth and in heaven”. (Blessed Bartolo Longo) We commit ourselves to praying the Rosary for your intentions, dearest Mary, our Mother, as You enter this final battle with Satan, for the sake of souls. We will take up the Rosary as an obligation that we will fulfill with great joy! Together we will pray for Your Triumph over Satan, and for the coming of a New Time of Peace which has been given to us through You, Oh Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary!! Amen Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit! As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen Now we pray our Rosary for today! The Glorious Mysteries!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan©Mary TV 2019
